Validation

Sending untagged, vlan-5 and vlan-6 traffic from ixia-1 to ixia-2. In the show bridge o/p we can see all the mac entries learnt for all the traffics.

In the show vlan brief output for default vlan interface xe21 is having port type as untagged (u).

SW1#show bridge

bridge 1 is running on rstp vlan-bridge
